Good Dino For 6,000 Miles.

[Topo]

I have in the past and still am running Synthetic fluids in my Chrysler 300 Touring 3.5 Liter. I currently backed down off my longer drains, due warranty concerns, it was recommmended I just follow the 6,000 mile interval until warranty is up, LESS HASSLE!.So I'm thinking a good quality dino at afordable prices will do just fine for that period of time.

I drive to work round trip is 56 miles. I do couple of small 1 to 4 mile trips during the week. Currently around 20 to 30F each morning not to cold. I don't do a lot of stand still idling or hard city driving.

My engine calls for 10W/30 year round. I like to stick in the OW30 to 10W/30 range. I must meet Chrysler Spec on oil, which I do with most oils anyways. I can get real good deal on Mobil 5000 right now, would that be ok for 6,000 miles. I will do a UOA on my current OW/30 AFE Mobil and then do a UOA for this oil just to compare.

New Pennzoil yellow bottle? otherwise which ever is on crazy sale. Maybe get a jug of G-oil while it is cheaper than dino oil.

Yep, just saw your post. Pennzoil is defiantly a great oil. G-Oil is lagging behind on current specs, so I will have to pass on that.

Pennzoil does meet MS6395 for Chrysler. I just don't pay attention to Chrysler specs

I think pyb or the kendal with titanium would do well.

Mobil super 5000 is a fine oil capable of 6k easily.

I would think about it if I could get it less than 6 dollars a quart. Without signing up to be a preferred customer.

Any SN rated dino oil would work. Im partial to Valvoline myself.

As long as that 56 mile round-trip commute doesn't include a lot of stop & go, you'll be fine at 6k with any dino Xw30 that meets Chrysler specs.

Nope it's a straight shot, flat as a pancake road. 3 stop lights and there usually always green, very little if any traffic at 5 am in the morning or when I get out of work.

Topo, contact Pablo and help each other out. OE at a good price is a great oil for 6,000 intervals.

I already PM'd him. I have to get through a Case of Napa Synthetic and 6 Qt of Castrol Edge. When I deplete an oil change or 2 I will get a hold of him. My wife should be getting a car real soon, more than likely will buy a case or so from Pablo of the OE oil, until then not committing to buying.

Stick with M1. You'll be glad you did 200K from now.

I would think ANY dino these days would be good for 6K...
